So basically, I copied some of the great designs above and built 3 stands. The first one took the longest. Once I had the lengths right, I measured the first one and built the other two. My only regret is that I didn't build a 4th for a friend. Cost per stand is about $5.00

5 gun stand i made...whipped it up from scratch cuz i didn't know this thread existed changed the design about 8 times before i settled on this. one question though, does anybody have any better ideas to get a barrel holder instead of cutting a t in half like i did?

Before I built mine, I tried drawing up plans, but gave up. I just went to Home Depot, bought what I thought I would need and just started playing around. Once I had a decent stand, I built two more for my kids.

Of course then JokersWild53 posted pics of his stand, so now I HAVE to build one of those.

It depends on the design. If you want a smaller one that can fold you don't use glue. If you want a bigger fixed in place design you should definitely use glue. It makes the stand much stronger. A can of PVC cement is only a few bucks. Don't use too much cause it's melts PVC and makes it swell up. Lol on my first stand I pored some cement into an elbow thinking more = better instead of brushing it on with the brush that comes under the lid and found that the next morning it had doubled it's size and became as soft and spongy as foam.
